Theme
Nowadays, there has been an increasing interest to the new types of fractional derivatives. The well-known fractional derivatives such as Riemann-Liouville, Caputo, Riesz are successful for modelling real World problems. In addition, these fractional operators give the memory and hereditary effects in physical phenomena. However, these are non-local operators described by convolution integrals with weakly singular kernels. Due to these structures, some complexities can naturally occur in the mathematical modelling and solution processes. Because of these hardness, many researchers have paid attention to introduce new derivatives with fractional parameter in the last years. Caputo-Fabrizio, Atangana-Baleanu, Beta, Conformable derivatives with fractional parameter are pioneering definitions in this sense.
Topics

• Description of new fractional derivatives
• New properties of new fractional derivatives
• Integral transform techniques in sense of new fractional operators
• New analytical/numerical methods
• Mathematical modelling in terms of new fractional operators
• Foundation of new relations between existing and new fractional operators

Theme
This special sesion focuses on the dynamics of complex systems, which are one of the most attractive subjects of the modern sciences. The attractiveness of this particular area arises from two different aspects: The first one is that it provides challenges, which are connected with many uncertainties in description of irregular motions. The second one is methods of investigation, which are not yet well developed and established. Applications of complex dynamics investigations are very important and deal with a wide range of problems. They begin with mechanical problems and extend to earthquake prediction and social sciences problems. We are interested in those investigations in electrical and mechanical engineering, physics, biology, economics, finance, neuroscience, computer sciences, fluid dynamics and earthquake monitoring, which urgently need mathematical modeling of their problems and analysis through nonlinear dynamical systems approach.

Theme
Mathematical modeling is the art of transforming problems from a field of application into traceable mathematical formulations whose theoretical and numerical analysis provides insight, answers, and guidance useful for the better understanding the universe. Mathematical modeling is inevitable in many fields of science and gives precision, direction and low-cost for problem solutions. Mathematical modeling yields a way for better understanding or design of a system and leads to the use of modern computing capabilities.
This session will include distinguished works at the interface between applied mathematics and computational methods via linear and nonlinear models occurred in the physical, biological, engineering, and economical sciences. By considering the linear/nonlinear or deterministic/stochastic models with a flexible approach, this session encourages versatile understanding of the computational science. Robust numerical methods or simulation techniques as well as new designs of mathematical models are welcome to this session.
